Document Destruction
Document Destruction on a Regular Schedule
Businesses generate a tremendous amount of paper documents, ranging from office memos to employee and tax information. Many documents must be retained for a period of time (see Records Retention Schedule), while others can be discarded at any time. Many documents contain confidential information that must be kept private. The only way to insure privacy is to securely destroy the documents. In particular, documents with confidential data should not be kept past their retention period. A regular schedule of secure document destruction is necessary for proper records management.
